EASY EASY EASY,but lately that's been par for the course.
pretty easy, as everyone else had said. lmurray, please keep comments like that to yourself, some things are better left unsaid.
Cool ! I didn't get the football one, no surprise there. It took me a minute but I got all the rest. What can I say..... I even amaze myself sometimes.
I got them, can't believe it but I got them all.
I got most of them. I hate football so I got that one wrong. Thanks for the post. Enjoyed it.

Ummm, Emmitt Smith is the top football rusher.
However, i did guess Sanders based on the letters

I also didn't get the sports ones but got all the others quickly. Thanks for the teaser, peppamintp!
i Only ever heard of Bill Gates and Rhett Butler and I got those pmes right at least. I LOVE gone with the wind. the book not the movie.

Barry Sanders?
BARRY SANDERS !!?? How about naming someone who has played in this century! Sanders never brojke Walter Payton's record and that record was smashed by Emmit Smith - that puts Sanders at #3 - a couple of spots off of "best!"

Its really coo
Holy crap! The teaser didn't say that Barry Sanders was the only top rushing star, just like it didn't say that Martina Navratilova was the only Wimbledon champion. These sports people are just two of many who could fit into the category, but the letters fit. Chill out and don't take your sports trivia so seriosly!
Good teaser idea, I got all but the football but hey I'm not a football expert.
Go Barry Sanders, Go...
at first on number 4 i thought scarlett johansson(sp?) but then i guessed rhett butler fromt he initials.
I thought it was fun even if I missed the sports ones.
Oh, good, I'm not the only one who missed the sports ones.
I thought this was a cool teaser, refreshingly different and interesting! More please!
